Major depression is the most common of all psychiatric conditions. It is more prevalent than diabetes and asthma and, by 2020, will rank second only to ischemic heart disease as the worldwide disease burden. It is estimated that one third of all individuals are likely to experience an episode of depression during their lifetime. The potentially adverse effects of depression and other mood disorders are costly, debilitating and often result in functional impairment, developmental disabilities and suicide. For these reasons, clinicians are often challenged to recognize varying presentations of mood disorders, make accurate diagnosis and implement appropriate treatment plans.Depression and Other Mood Disorders is an easy-to-use, contemporary and evidence-based approach to evaluation and management of various anxiety disorders. Clinicians in varied health care settings will find this appealing and comprehensive handbook a necessity in distinguishing and evaluating anxiety disorders quickly and accurately, intervening safely, and implementing appropriate client-centered interventions. This handbook represents efforts to present clinicians with the most contemporary research findings that can reduce the burden of diverse anxiety disorders and facilitate positive treatment outcomes.The author analyzes existing empirical findings that may play a role in the underpinnings of various anxiety disorders and clinical implications for health care providers in vast practice settings: panic disorder, social anxiety disorder and other phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.

In The Perinatal Nurses Guide to Avoiding a Lawsuit, Pat Connors shares her 10 years of experience and the expertise she acquired working as a legal nurse consultant and nurse expert. Working with both plaintiff and defense attorneys, combined with 40 years as a perinatal nurse, affords her a unique ability to educate perinatal nurses as to factors that might lead them to become involved in the dreaded LAWSUIT. At one time, physicians were considered the captain of the ship and nurses were expected to do little more than take and follow orders. Todays nurses, well educated, autonomous and expected to possess critical thinking skills, now often find themselves responsible for many tasks once assigned to physicians. The complexity of maternal-child nursing has placed higher demands for assessment and vigilance. This book targets those areas that make perinatal nurses vulnerable to and prime targets for a lawsuit. The Perinatal Nurses Guide to Avoiding a Lawsuit is replete with case studies and resources highlighting areas of litigation for which perinatal nurses are at greatest risk and addresses strategies to reduce those risks.
